The though of “The Wizard if Oz”

The though of “The Wizard if Oz”

I. IntroductionPeople in both East and West recognizes John Woo’s name, from Asia’s best filmmakers. Woo was born in Guangzhou, China, in 1946, grew up in the slums of Hong Kong and witnessed a lot of crime and violence in his neighborhood. So he often went to the movie theater to escape his surroundings. Woo was fascinated with films because of the influence they had on his childhood just like “The Wizard of Oz”. Finally he studied filmmaking from books and joined Cathay Studios as a production assistant and script supervisor. From 1973 to 1989, he made many more such great kung fu action scenes and “Gun-fu”, would be copied by many Hollywood directors. In 1997, the transition to American film proved difficult and managed to get people’s attention with his unique style to pave the way for other Asian directors.

II. Body“The Wizard of Oz” is the story talking about Dorothy and her dog, Toto, Scarecrow, Lion and Tinman. Dorothy is discontented with her surroundings and often led to trouble. Scarecrow is clamorous and no thinking at anything. Tinman is non of heart, he didn’t concerned with others. Lion is very cowardly, he didn’t have enough confidence and courage to do every thing. They have gone through a lot of difficult tests, overthrew the bad witch finally. Discovered one's own ability instead of seeking help everywhere by themselves. Last but not least, have got the thing that they expect via the help of the Wizard. Make Dorothy know that the family is the most warm place.

III. Conclusion Have been influenced by “The Wizard of Oz” since Woo’s childhood and can know he feels life wasn’t just violence and despair. It could be beautiful and happy, as well. Make him join a lot of warm pictures of making in film later on, even beautiful final result. Behave in life beautiful and to anything all hopeful views.
